Happy 4th Year Anniversary to Us & Amsterdam!

Hope you had a great weekend everyone! I spent a couple of
days in London with a great friend of mine from California with the sound of
our own laughter filling the pubs and streets we frequented (favorite pub name we saw: "The Slug & Lettuce" haha!).

Today is a special one though…on this day 4 years ago, I said
my goodbyes to friends and family and grabbed my passport, my sense of
adventure and a one-way ticket straight to Amsterdam. I was fresh out of
college, on the verge of beginning Grad school in Amsterdam and reuniting with
that handsome Dutch guy I met in Finland a year earlier. Yep! It’s been FOUR
YEARS since I moved to my favorite city and since Christian and I moved into
our cozy Amsterdam apartment (we have since added a cat and an obscene amount
of travel pics to that apartment too).

I never thought I could love Amsterdam more than I did then,
but I love Amsterdam more than ever before. Celebrations are in order!

Here are some of my favorite Amsterdam photos from over the
years…and those canals still get me every
damn time!

{I love this picture. It was taken on a beautiful summer night at a canal-side pub to celebrate the first night in our apartment!}

Oh my goodness, I don't think you understand how inspring your posts always are for me. It makes me want to get up and go so badly. And in the mean time... buy a really nice camera. Happy Anniversary :)

Lostintravels: I'm dying to go everywhere! And that includes revisiting Greece because it's so gorgeous :). Some places I have yet to go in Europe where I would LOVE to go is Iceland and Croatia..fortunately we'll be gracing the coast of Croatia in a few weeks and have plans for Iceland next year! :)

Danielle: just go for it girl!! :) I'm here for wanderlust/expat support if ya need it!
